It’s been a long wait since the last time Euphoria hit screens, and fans have been hungry for any kind of news on the highly anticipated third season. With its gripping storylines, stunning visuals and unforgettable performances, the HBO drama has established itself as one of television’s most buzzed-about series. Here’s what to know about the new season.
Is There a Season 3?
Yes! HBO announced that Euphoria have been returning for a third season. Though the show had been delayed several times and rumors of its cancellation circulated online, the network reiterated its commitment to the project — production would now start in 2025. The update came amid increased speculation over recently announced projects involving cast members, though the studio insisted that the series was still a top priority.
Who’s Back on the Cast?
The original cast is slated to return, including Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and Alexa Demie. But some familiar faces will not return this season.
Storm Reid, who starred as Gia, said she was not returning, thanking the series for the experience while noting that she would not be coming back. Barbie Ferreira, who played Kat, previously announced she would not return after having concerns about her character’s storyline in season 2.
In the meantime, Dominic Fike, who plays Elliot, has said he is unsure if he would return and that he no longer has much contact with the production team.
What Will Season 3 Be About?
While official plot details remain under wraps, hints suggest a major shift in the storyline. Zendaya, who also serves as an executive producer, has expressed interest in taking the characters beyond high school, focusing on their lives as young adults navigating the next phase of their journeys.
A potential five-year time jump has been rumored, with the show’s costume designer previously hinting at this possibility. If true, it would introduce a fresh perspective, exploring where the characters have landed after their tumultuous teenage years.
When Will It Premiere?
It has been a long road to season 3.
Early plans seemed to aim for a production start in 2024, but reports confirmed a 2025 film start in early 2024. Now that production is officially in full swing, and the first on-set image of Zendaya as Rue has hit the web, excitement is higher than ever. Though this date has not been confirmed, speculation around the industry points to possibly late 2025 or early 2026 release.
